Ed Note: This special version of a holiday favorite is brought to you by Bright Side contributing author Mike Lisboa who's poetic beauty was bound only by the limits of buggy technology.
The following is posted on his behalf...
With apologies to Henry Livingston, Jr or Clement Clarke Moore, here's a very seasonal preview of the Suns's Christmas Day tilt with the Spurs. Enjoy.
Twas the night before Christmas, and throughout Planet Orange,..
Everyone was excited, even poor Goran.
The gameplans were made by Coach Porter with care
And Steve Kerr signed a point guard with ‘rows in his hair.
The true fans were nestled all snug in their beds
While visions of Spur-trouncing danced in their heads.
And Boris with his Dirty and Raja with his ‘tude
Had been shipped off to Charlotte for a long winter brood.
And in their place arrived with such chatter,
J-Rich and Jared (who has yet to matter).
But that new guy Jason can shoot, dunk and slash
Who cares about defense? Certainly not Nash.
But the Spurs were coming, almost at full strength,
They would miss poor Oberto and all of his length.
When Timmy and Tony and Manu appear
The Suns better kick it, and into high gear.
With a slow start, the Spurs looked so old and so sick
But we've seen it before, this same possum trick.
But the Suns know it too, they've seen that old game
And Coach Porter, he lectured and called them by name:
"Now, Stevey! Now, Robin! Now, Shaquille and J-Rich!
LB, Matt and Grant! Sweet Lou, and Dragic!
You won't learn my system, not a bit, not all!
So bombs away! Bombs away! Bombs away all!"
In Terry's slow vision, the Suns, they had struggled
D'Antoni's boys had gone from magic to muggled.
At last he relented and loosened the reins
And poof! - disappeared those growing pains.
And then up in Portland, the Suns found the fun
The passing and shooting, that old run and gun.
Though Brandon went off and the Suns they were downed,
You couldn't help but think, "Have they turned it around?"
There is much work to be done, they haven't quite gelled;
And those questions on defense? They're still not disspelled.
So the Spurs come to town to give them a test
With apologies to the Lakers, they own the West.
So old Shaq must be aggressive, bodying Tim
And ensuring his foul shots don't clank off the rim.
Grant Hill somehow must contain Manu Ginobili
And Steve Nash must take charges, however ignobly.
J-Rich needs to find his man on rotation
And LB needs to play without consternation:
That little Brazilian, I've never understood
Why sometimes he looks scared, just petrified like wood.
Matt Barnes and his tats are a poor man's Shawn Marion
But I like his style as long as his 3s he's a-buryin'.
Fropez and Sweet Lou better clear those darn boards
Cuz these Spurs rebound, and collect them in hoards.
I hope Dee Brown's ready, poor Goran is not:
Send him to Iowa to work on his shot.
And fro-hawked Amare should play with some fire;
His hot and cold act is sure growing tired.
So tune in on Thursday, it's gonna be a blast,
And hopefully the Suns will be left standing at last,
For a yuletide Suns win would allow me to yell:
"Happy Christmas to all! (May the Spurs rot in hell.)"

So, so glorious
Steve Nash, the league's MVP, is a longhaired Canadian who spoke out against the war in Iraq and reads The Communist Manifesto. Quentin Richardson declared after a game-winning shot that it "was like Hamlet. It was a suspense thriller, and I killed them at the end." Amare Stoudemire, when asked to comment on a 22-point third quarter against the Kings, said, "I've got a tendency to jump over some guys' heads and throw it down."

Merry Christmas, people – except for today’s game, I wish you all happiness and good health.

Moron Points
Normally I don’t think that we should award Moron or Genius points based soley on a win or lose but this game is an exception.
In fact, with so much of Kerr’s legacy tied to the Spurs I think 2 points are on the line.
Also – at the suggestion of a commentor, I created a running scoreboard of the points awarded. You can find that here.

Does he get a moron point or genius point when we find out he was a spurs plant (a job well done, as opposed to messing up a good team through inept moves)?

oh absolutely
LB and Barnes need theirs
thats whats good (but sometimes bad) about this team. We have bench players that could start on other teams. Everyone needs to get their touches. If everyone gets their touches and everyone makes their shots, we’re just too much of an offensive powerhouse that we’d be untouchable. We have at least 7-8 players that could score 20 on any given night.

But Nas won 2 MVP’s. I don’t think Duhon is going to quite get past a guy having improved stats status.

definitely not
I just indicated that it is possible to run this offense with different players, as indicated by the situation in NY now. of course steve is way better than duhon… but he is not the only one capable of doing it, he is just the best at it. if you have nice 3pt-shooting skills (steve has awesome) and good court vison (again, nashty is awesome) you can suceed in his system. he may have done something wit tragic too

Decent start
The energy is definitely there but we should be up by 12 at least. Hold Spurs to 33% shooting while we shoot 50%.
As always turnovers killing us 7 to 2. Even on the offensive glass though and we are up +6 overall in TREB.
You have to think the Spurs are going to start hitting more of their shots and the Suns are going to have to answer. Especially Barnes, JRich and LB.
Shaq and Amare have been AWESOME on both ends. Killing it with 6-8 for both of them. Amare has two more points (from the line) and Shaq has one more rebound. That’s front court dominance right there.

his effort is great. still, he should understand that he is past his prime, and there are other good players on this team. on his last play (with the multiple off. rebs) he never passed it to anyone, despite the fact that he should have before even taking the first shot, less the following 2 or 3

and that needs to get done
he’ll knock them down if he gets them. But it seems like majrity of the plays require him to be outside, and he’s not a grat 3pt shooter. He’s a slasher, straight up. We have to take better advantage of that and not force him to be a 3-ball.

Just a question...
If there is a foul before the ball is passed in.. doesn’t the team get a free throw and the ball back? When the Spurs fouled Shaq with 31.6 seconds left in the 3rd, it was before Nash had touched the ball on the pass in.

As I said, you can’t leave the shooters wide open. It’s a shame for you guys, as the Suns had a great inbounds play at the other end on the previous play.

I was about to chuck my shoe at the tv. Granted it was a plushie slipper but it serves the same purpose, yes?
I'm just like you, only ten times better.

What is it with this team

Jesus, I almost kick the TV and throw my dog out the window…

God must HATE the Suns...
…really there’s NO other rational explanation as to why we keep losing in such heart-breaking fashion to this one team…

I was there about 20 rows up from the dagger 3 from the corner. I wanted to cry. God I hate the Spurs more than ever. 3 lumps of coal in his stocking for JRich for not covering Mason.
